Nijmegen
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Nijmegen General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,750. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,750 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $140 • prosthetic leg: $2,300 • First-year servicing plan: $310 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ties
